Postpartum Doula Services

Settling in at home with your baby and beginning your life as new parents is where the sometimes overwhelming reality of having a baby begins.

The first few days, weeks, and months are joyful, exciting, exhausting, overwhelming, and full of growth as you fall crazy in love with your new little family member. A postpartum doula can help you enjoy this hazy and emotional  time by helping you with daily tasks, assuring you are getting proper rest and nourishment, answering your basic questions, helping you find beneficial resources in your community, and so much more. She is your steadiest shoulder to  lean on and the best listening ear you’ll have! She is part of your care team and will graciously  work effectively with other family members that come to support you when your new baby arrives.

Postpartum care is “mothering the mother”….and the father. It is providing you the physical, emotional, and informational support you may need in the first few days, weeks, and months following your baby’s birth.

• Caring for the baby while you shower or nap
• Assisting you in initial basic baby care
• Running errands for you (grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions, dry cleaning, etc.)
• Breastfeeding, pumping, or bottle feeding support
• Organizing visitors and tasks for visitors
• Light housekeeping
• Helping create a daily routine for the family; creating task/chore list for partners and other helpers
• Simple meal/snack preparation
• Overnight support. We do the feeding, rocking, shushing, diaper changing and swaddling for eight hours while you sleep!

Postpartum Support Pricing

Because each family has different needs in the postpartum time, hours can be purchased either in a pre-paid bundle, or simply as you need them. Some families will book postpartum care hours before the baby arrives, selecting both daytime and overnight hours and enjoy knowing that support will be on hand when baby comes home. Others don’t know what they need until they have a need and then call for “help!”
